Eating with Chop Sticks

The day I returned from Japan, all of the girls came home hungry for noodles! They must have sensed that I just came from the land of Ramen and Soba noodles.

Here are some photos of the girls enjoying some Top Ramen - which tastes NOTHING like the fresh Ramen and Soba in Japan. It sure was cute to watch them enjoy eating with chops sticks.

Erika was first to try it and she was quite successful!

And since it is tough to get Kristian in photos these days, I added one of him eating a cupcake (of course it would be some kind of dessert).

Yard Work

Finally! A New Post!!!

We have embarking on the yard, and the girls are the most excited. Notice from the photos that Kristian is nowhere to be found. This is why he is tasked as the dish doer.

Also notice the fine attire all the girls are wearing.

These photos are in our backyard, which we have the huge goal of getting finished this year. We are also working on the front yard, which is not as difficult, but still takes TIME.

Christmas Activities

During our visit for the holidays, the kids enjoyed the annual Kiwanis pizza party.
The girls loved the clown name Sparkles.
As Eleanor told me, "she was dressed from head to toe!"

Here is Nicole with her balloon animal made by Sparkles.

Eleanor with her doggy with a leash. It lasted until the next day - which is impressive.

Elise with her balloon thing-a-ma-jig.

Erika happy to be a part of it all with her balloon too.

Kristian and his friend Joel scarfing down the pizza. I was told they woofed down a whole large pizza on their own.

OH NO!!

Looks like all of the photos from the Holidays are lost.
My SD card will not read. The only photos that I have are the ones posted previously. I am SO sad. My in-laws may have captured a few, but not as many as I had taken.
It feels like a whole Holiday of time lost forever.

To say it plainly and honestly, Christmas 2009 sucked.
